Soulful Reawakening: Mind, Body and Soul Empowerment

What role does spirituality play in your life, and how does it impact your wellbeing?

This is a huge question poised on the lips of many. In this episode, the Soulful Reawakening trio opens the lid on spirituality and discusses how we can tap into our incredible selves without being ‘woo woo’.

There are no rules when it comes to spirituality. Spirituality can provide a much-needed soulful reawakening when life serves up challenges or we question what it’s all about.

Our logical brain tends to try to make sense of everything, which can block us from tapping into our spiritual side. Rationality and living inside our heads prevent us from being creative and living our best lives. Following the rules of others or putting others first is the opposite of pursuing our authentic destiny and what we desire.

Anna, Cassie and E-J share their journey and perspective on spirituality and how they incorporate spiritual practises into daily life. The conversation delves into having a sense of connection, mindfulness, meditation, and the role of escapism as a coping strategy for life’s stresses.

The hosts consider how we can stop our brains from thinking in favour of simply sitting and being. Listen to this episode for ideas about living in the present and being aware of what’s around you instead of being inside your head or multitasking. It is a state we all strive for.

Uncertainty and challenges are inevitable, but how can you embrace ambiguity and complex situations while maintaining positivity? 

Anna leads this episode of the Soulful Reawakening podcast by introducing ways to take uncertainty and challenges in our stride. By approaching situations with an openness to different perspectives and curiosity, we can cultivate a growth mindset, staying positive, creative and flexible. 

Anna encourages us to share five things in our journals that help us seek out life's positive and joyful aspects. She invites Cassie and E-J to share their thoughts, and, as usual, the conversation develops in an abundance of different directions that bring value and insight. A powerful suggestion from Cassie is to ‘observe, not absorb’ what’s going on in front of us. What can we learn? 

To help us get to grips with our thoughts, feelings and emotions, Anna shares a free app that prompts us to log how we feel throughout the day. Keeping a log of our moods and the incidents that lead to us feeling that way highlights trends and provides evidence we can work with and grow from. 

Finally, Anna shares a few examples of positive language that help reframe typical negative narratives when things don’t go according to plan – I can’t, I don’t know, I’m scared, I’ve failed. We’ve all thought or said them!

Listen to this informative episode and learn how to slow down, be gentle to yourself, and spot the signs life offers as lessons and opportunities.

Log your thoughts, feelings and emotions on the ‘How We Feel’ app.

‘Your Child Is Not Broken’ by Heidi Mavir.

Do you ever feel like you’ve reached ‘rock bottom’, can’t understand how you got there, or see any way to pull yourself up or out?

In this episode of the Soulful Reawakening podcast, Anna, Cassie, and E-J pull a card for inspiration and let chance guide the conversation. Colette Baron-Reid’s Enchanted Map Oracle Cards presents the ‘rock bottom’ card as a symbol for addiction in all forms, subtle and obvious. 

Doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results will never provide you with what you desire, so how do we change for the better and what steps can we take when we feel there is nowhere else to go?

Sometimes, the only way to go is up. Still, it takes courage to overcome the insanity of hanging onto something that isn’t serving us well and letting go – physically, mentally or spiritually. 

The trio contemplate the card and surprisingly come up with different interpretations and actions, including the metaphorical flow of water, holding onto traumas and past experiences by being a victim of your perceptions, and asking for support (like a good bra, as pointed out by E-J) when you need it.

Listen to this episode and consider what ‘rock bottom’ means to you. Be resourceful in thinking about who and what empowers you to make changes for the better that allow you to move forward positively.

Have you hit the ground running this year? Research suggests the most popular resolutions for 2024 are exercising more (who knew?), weight loss, and dietary improvements.  

A new year is typically a time of planning and goal setting. Yet the so-called New Year’s Resolutions are inherently flawed, with a whopping 69% failing to keep them (Yougov.co.uk).

According to 2023 statistics from Forbes Advisor, less than one in five people in the UK set resolutions last year. However, this year, around 51% of those aged 18-34, 34% aged 35-54, and 12% of those aged 55 and over will be setting goals. Does this suggest we become jaded with the concept as we age? Perhaps.

Join Anna, Cassie and E-J in the first Soulful Reawakening episode of 2024 as they share their feelings around the New Year and discuss whether they’ve launched or eased forward.

Resolutions, goals, intentions, or the latest trend to set a word of the year are prime topics of conversation. But how vested are we in maintaining the focus long-term? The trio chat about movement, nourishment and nurturing, along with a few real-world examples, to encourage us to think about ourselves and what really matters throughout the next twelve months. 

Listen to this impromptu episode and be ready to ask a few questions about how you stay on track and nurture yourself in 2024.

Who are you? And what is your purpose on planet Earth?

How we identify presents a deep and meaningful conversation that asks how we see ourselves in the eyes of our ‘self’ and the eyes of others. 

Are you completely in alignment with who you feel you need to be? Perhaps you’re in a transition period and have questions. Or maybe you don’t have a clue and are intrigued to learn more. 

This latest Soulful Reawakening podcast digs deep and encourages us to be curious about what we want, who we are – and what it all means. To help explore the topic, Cassie pulls a card from Caroline Myss’s Archetype Card Deck. 

Join Anna, Cassie and E-J as they share intuitive responses to the ‘Visionary’ card and learn how applying your mind, body and soul to your ‘presence’ can create more clarity on your true self and identity – and start to carve out a more aligned future.

It’s all a learning curve, but there must be a starting point, right?

Are you keeping all your jingle bells in the air this December, or does it feel like chaos is dropping down the chimney with no logical place to go?

In this latest episode of the Soulful Reawakening podcast, hosts Anna, Cassie and E-J share more self-care gifts to sweeten the season. 

Sometimes, it helps to just ‘be’ and say no to the frequent tugging of notifications and passive activities that keep our minds in a frenzy. Setting the intention to detox from digital devices every day or over a few days is refreshing and gives you time to switch off and think for yourself. 

A great way to celebrate the joyous season and turn your back on digital FOMO is to dance like no one is watching and E-J has a few great titbits to try at home. 

And remember, it’s essential to recuperate mentally and physically after busy times, so why not plan your post-festive restoration to ensure 2024 starts with focus, clarity and good health in mind, body and soul?

Are you reaching an age where you welcome a slower pace, quality time to visit an alternative reality or a spot of pelvic strengthening?

This may sound like an unlikely combination of topics, but you’ll find them all in this episode as your three Soulful Reawakening hosts return with more self-care tips to help you through the chaos of Christmas – which might also be helpful for years to come. 

Firstly, E-J kicks off by encouraging us to slow down our bodies and pay attention to pelvic floor exercises – a must after baby and age milestones! Secondly, Cassie shares reaffirming inspiration and suggests creating a soulful space to escape when things get a little challenging. Finally, Anna advocates restful reading in a comfortable space that’s snuggly, bubbly or ‘hubbuby’.

It's whatever works for you as we ease further into wintery weather and merriment. Have a giggle today as you listen to the trio chat about more helpful and nourishing self-care hints and tips for the festive season.

Are you ready and on board with Christmas?

It’s finally December (well, it is when this episode drops), woo hoo, and we’re in full throttle for the festivities of Christmas and the planning for 2024 – or are we?

In this Christmas episode, Cassie introduces the curious yet rather promising concept of JOMO (listen to learn more because we wouldn’t want FOMO to set in 🤣) that could deliver a sack full of empowerment and rest over the coming weeks.

E-J encourages us to buddy up with a partner to stay motivated when exercising over Christmas because we all know it’s too easy to flop, pick up the remote and say, ‘Why not?’ to another mince pie!

And finally, Anna urges us to pick up a pen and scribble what we’re grateful for during times of tradition spent with loved ones. It’s easy to get caught up with the commercialisation of Christmas and New Year, but there are many simple pleasures worth treasuring long after the tinsel and turkey have said goodbye.
